Depreciation has hit it hard though, which means that you can easily find one for Rs 2-3 lakh. It was a great car to throw around bends and with 114bhp of power, it was pretty quick right out of the box. Without any Evo on sale at the time, the Lancer Cedia with its bright paint options, sporty interior and the 4G94 2-litre SOHC engine was like the poor man’s Evo. Prices range from approximately Rs 4 lakh for the 1.6 petrol variants to over Rs 6 lakh for a well kept GT TSI. Another advantage of the Polo is the availability of plenty of cosmetic upgrades including aftermarket bumpers, headlights, taillights and you can even upgrade your interior to the one in the new India-spec Polo fairly easily.

Finally, like with all diesels, the 1.5 TDI is easy to tune up with a simple tuning box or a remap and the manual gearbox adds to the Thrill of Driving. The GT TSI’s 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine can easily be massaged to make close to 170-180bhp and the seven-speed DSG helps put all of that power down. The 1.6 is the hardest to come by, amongst all of these, so if you do see one go and snag it, those engines were smooth, punchy and are still being used in the rallying and autocross circuits today. The models you should keep your eye out for are the first-gen cars equipped with the charming 1.6-litre nat-asp petrol, the GT TSI with its 1.2-litre TSI engine and the GT TDI with the meaty 1.5-litre TDI diesel.
We’ve featured it plenty of times in our magazine, on our YouTube channel and right here on the website too, because it is just that great to drive! And while the Polo is already a hoot from the factory, this too has plenty of tuning potential. The Volkswagen Polo needs no introduction.
